One essential to success is that your desire be an all-obsessing one, your thoughts and aims be co-ordinated, and your energy be concentrated and applied without letup.: Claude M. Bristol
On his examination paper a boy wrote, "A natural death is where you die by yourself without a doctor's help.: Author Unknown
